The musician--son of iconic performer Paul Simon--continues the in-progress trek tonight (11/24) in Minneapolis, followed by 11 club performances up and down the West Coast. The itinerary, which also includes a Dec. 6 appearance opening for Beach Boy Brian Wilson, concludes Dec. 18 in Los Angeles. Details are below.

Accompanying Simon on the club trek will be bassist Erik Paparazzi (Cat Power), drummer Russell Simins (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and guitarist Mike Bloom (The Elected), as well as special guests Money Mark, Farmer Dave Scher and The Chapin Sisters.

Guest vocalists featured on the set include Sean Lennon, Joan Wasser, Aaron Espinoza and Simon's father.
